Tactical Disparities: Seahawks in Control

Tomlin’s Lack of Leadership

Seahawks: A Model of Excellence

Comparing to Steelers Legends

Lessons from the Game

Smith warned that this game is a harsh reminder: the Steelers cannot rely on the past or on the reputation of their head coach. Without immediate improvements, they risk falling further behind as Seattle rises. “The point is not just a single loss; it’s how you respond. Today, the Steelers reacted too slowly, allowing the opponent to control the rhythm and every aspect of the game. This is a costly lesson that Tomlin must take seriously,” Smith emphasized.

Conclusion

The loss to the Seattle Seahawks is more than just a defeat in points; it is a comprehensive failure in spirit, strategy, and leadership for Mike Tomlin. Stephen A. Smith, in his characteristic blunt style, called out the issue clearly: the Steelers under Tomlin are becoming a fading shadow compared to the Seahawks’ brilliance.
